Okay, first I ran just under thirteen miles with running club, the first five of which I did with a very fast runner who (lucky for me, not for him) was recovering from surgeries, so I could keep up. (Until he challenged me to a sprint up a hill. ) [...]

Well, it only makes logical sense. You can’t go eating like you’re training for a marathon when you’re not actually training for a marathon. (And even if you were training for a marathon, chocolate cookies would probably not serve well as a primary nutrition source.) I went to put on [...]

Ever get hit by sudden waves of completely debilitating exhaustion, out of nowhere? I mean, it’s not as though I did nothing today that could have brought it on – a long run this morning, a breakfast Christmas party at Eric’s work after that, and then holiday shopping – but…dude. I squatted to [...]

Too much fun going on to write much, but while we’re breathing for a moment, I wanted to step in and say that we made it here to Alysia’s, and all is well. The kids are as thick as thieves, good food from Eric is in the offing, and…just…it’s what I [...]

I’m still president of the “Vote NO on Issue Carrie” lobby group, but there is this to make me feel better: we’re going to visit Alysia. And she’s even humoring me by doing a Thanksgiving Day 5K with me, even though she’s not a runner. That, plus the look on [...]

It was my birthday. I’m now 34 years old. Gabe got me a teddy bear, Eric got me some smelly bath stuff, and my folks got me some running gear and some PJ pants. I had sushi for lunch with Eric. All told, I could handle more birthdays [...]

I had to call Mom a few days ago and go all clothes-rendy for crimes I committed in childhood. After spending hours working with Sam on this six-page paper for school, I am now way more aware than I ever wanted to be that I was a little snot when I was a kid. [...]

Ever hear of laughter yoga? I don’t d yoga, personally, because of the whole thing where my lower back doesn’t bend. It become more of an exercise in frustration than in flexibility for me. Pilates is the same way. Anyway, I heard about the whole “laughter yoga” thing somewhere, and it [...]

Is it the height of egotism or the nadir of it when, thinking of the person you love best in the world and formulating all the reasons why, the current front-runner is that he continually believes the very best about you in times when you see nothing but the opposite in yourself?
Sometimes I [...]

I just casually Tweeted, in the course of a conversation, that the military races feel like Pokemon to me: “Gotta catch ‘em all!” The Marine Corps Marathon, the Air Force Marathon in Dayton, the Army 10-miler, and the Navy 5-miler – it’s probably not an unusual goal to complete all four and collect the [...]
